Texas has a culture that is refreshing and fun. If a few topless bars need to be tolerated to keep the essential freedom one feels while in the state, I am for it. (Besides, if you don't want to be in one, you know what to do.)
I've been around the country, and Texans are friendly, and courteous. And yes, we had a luncheon (when I worked in Austin) and we went to one of those bars. Surprise, it was not dark and sleazy inside (yeah maybe this was a good one). Then we went back to work, all hopped up on testosterone. It was OK.
I'm all for regulation, and a community has a perfect right to zone where these institutions can exist, but I would rather have few places where vice is tolerated than live in a local where no vices are allowed. (And there are some of those around too.) Which community produces the most positive roll models for the young men and women is open for debate. Most of this should come from home anyway.
